Ingredients
  • 4 pieces Member's Mark Mesquite Grilled Chicken fillets (frozen)
  • 4 pieces bacon (one for each chicken breast)
  • 6 oz. barbecue sauce (I used Sweet Baby Ray's Hickory and Brown Sugar)
  • 1 small onion
  • 1 small bag shredded cheddar cheese
  • butter (to saute onions)
Instructions

  1. Heat chicken breasts in microwave as directed on package. Get them up to room temperature, not fully hot.

  2. While the chicken is heating, cook your bacon. Set aside.

  3. Take your chicken breasts and cover with barbecue sauce.

  4. Cover the barbecue sauce with shredded cheddar cheese.

  5. Place your bacon on top of the cheese.

  6. Repeat the layer of sauce and a layer of cheese.

  7. Saute your onions in butter. Set aside.

  8. Microwave your chicken long enough to melt the cheese, typically 30 seconds to a minute.

  9. Top your chicken with your onions.
